If Tomlin can't play, start KM and Glatzel. And have Wilson be an out snd out winger.
I would also like to see the dice rolled on Mark Harris at least from the bench. We can't get any less creative in the middle.

Because Harry Wilson & Lee Tomlin were missing at the same time, there was uproar.
Now our main player as some say, Harry Wilson was out injured, well this could happen more this season or even he might need resting etc
We are not a one man team and never should be.
As to Lee Tomlin, from the day Tomlin signed for us, he has never ever been consistent and we can never rely on him, top quality on his day, but plays about 1 in 3 or 4 games for us.
Tomlin, attitude? injury prone and soon gets unfit and over weight.
Kieffer Moore started and for me the bargain of the season, consistent,reliable,quality and scored his 3rd goal
SO WHAT I AM ASKING IS FROM EVERY POSTER ON HERE TO ANSWER?
' 4 QUESTIONS TO ANSWER / YES OR NO OR LONGER ANSWERS '
IS NEIL HARRIS SQUAD BIG ENOUGH FOR PROMOTION THIS YEAR?
IS NEIL HARRIS SQUAD BETTER THAN LAST SEASON?
IS NEIL HARRIS SQUAD FULL OF QUALITY PLAYERS?
IS NEIL HARRIS THE RIGHT MANAGER TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THIS CURRENT MANAGER?
Derby have the worst home record after 4 games for goodness sake! You really seem to have a problem with Harris and use every opportunity to try and undermine him. It's your forum so you can do what you like. But why not use your position of influence to put a positive spin on things?
What with lockdown stuff on here, BLM stuff on here and so much negativity about the football it's such a f*cking miserable place. But I'm addicted

The team is struggling as we are simply not good enough to play Fulham's pass and move brand of football. We play hot fecking potato. I'm struggling to remember seeing another City side who give away possession as easily as this team does. Answers on a postcard. I'm thinking possibly Slade, but that might be doing even him a disservice!
Last night we looked lethargic, our passing was sloppy and amateur at times. Bennett, Ralls, Vaulks and Bacuna were are guilty of this on numerous occasions. How many times did our wingers take the fullback on, get to the byline and actually cross it for Moore? Moore tries his best but he can't do it on his own surrounded by 2 or 3 defenders. Not sure what's happened to Jnr? Quite why he's still getting picked. Whyte must be ready to stick his head in the oven.
The only positive I can think of is small mercies for Harris that there are no fans present, as just like the bloody kneeling, this sideways/backwards shit has got to end!!

So their last 5 home Championship games 5 defeats in a row and no goals scored is not to be mentioned? , if that was us, Neil Harris would of been hung drawn and quartered.
Oops on their 6 home game they scored and got their first home point v us.
Funny how Sky Sports mentioned it at least 10 times last night and BBC 4 times.

Yes it should be, of course when any team has a terrible run of injuries it will affect them (three fullbacks out at once) but you can't have four players for every position.
IS NEIL HARRIS SQUAD BETTER THAN LAST SEASON?
Miles better, donkeys out, Stallions in, no comparison.
IS NEIL HARRIS SQUAD FULL OF QUALITY PLAYERS?
Yes it's much better than last season!
IS NEIL HARRIS THE RIGHT MANAGER TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THIS CURRENT MANAGER?
Hmmmmm Not sure, I guess we will see in the next few months when he gets some players back fit and firing?
HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE FORGOTTEN THERE IS A COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND NO CROWDS IN THE GROUND THAT MAYBE BE CHANGING THE DYNAMIC OF FOOTBALL WITH SOME TEAMS AFFECTED MORE THAN OTHERS?
Yes I haven't seen that mentioned, but some of the results in the Premier League and Championship have been very freaky.
It must be tough being a Manager being assessed on standard terms, when there were no pre-seasons, covid training restrictions, no crowd atmosphere, basically everything has changed a lot, and with the new changes, some managers and teams may have learned to cope with it better and gain a small advantage?
Where the hell have Reading come from to lead the Championship by 6 points ???

Maybe covid has helped them in some way also?
Shit fans so maybe they are missing them less?
Possibly a young team playing with more confidence, because there are no fans and less pressure?
Maybe they are better prepared to deal with the changes or something? I don't know, I just know that some of the results are strange, and some teams are doing much better than expected and some are worse, I would expect this to be short-lived, and that over the season things will settle down and the best teams squads will rise to the top like they always do.
